DIMITRIOS
DIMITRIS NEZIS
FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION
​
IN "BEST DANCE /
ELECTRONIC ALBUM" ,
​
"ALBUM OF THE YEAR"
&
"BEST RECORDING PACKAGE"
"The album “Dimitrios” includes 11 tracks, specifically 9 tracks and 2 bonus tracks/ very beautiful and summer remixes of the song “Deceive Me” in a duet with Natalie Jean which has already been released as a lead single at the beginning of the year and has an american sound (and this is a plus since Dimitris is active in the United States).
All the songs have been composed by Constantine Oikonomopoulos, while Dimitris has written the lyrics. Also, the two together have been collaborated in the production.
On a first listen the album is well written and produced. The vocals are quite impressive and for a Greek singer singing in English,he sounds quite decent. Also each track has its own dynamics and could easily be released as an individual single.
One of the best tracks (although, as we said before, all tracks are quite pleasant) is the track “Party Hard” which is basically what the title says. A highly danceable song that can easily get you hooked with strong vocals and well-made production which might reminds you of a Kylie’s (Minogue) song. Rap vocals from Rafaelo are also heard at the end.
In addition, the album also brings together sounds from two beloved decades, the 80’s and 90’s.
For example, the track “Phoenix” which is a quite danceable track and could easily transport you to the 80’s while the track “Ecstacy” sounds “playful” and could transport you to the 90’s. Furthermore the song “Spell On The Dance Floor”, a pop track with a dark sexy sound has been already released as a second single from the album not by chance! In fact, “Spell On The Dance Floor” has already been heard by the radio team of the BBC Radio in UK.
The song “Grand Slam” is a real revelation. The 90’s sound with its nostalgic vocals (helped by the female vocals of Luna) combined with the excellent production manage to give you an intense nostalgia for that beautiful decade.
Furthermore the tracks “Invitation” and “Not A Saint” could be used easily as single material, the first is an electronic dance song and the second is an ultra catchy pop song. Both are “addictive” and sound quite pleasant. For the end I deliberately left the track “Trapped” which is quite interesting since it combines ethnic sounds with strong synthesizers and drums at a tempo of 180 bpm (ideal tempo for more drum and bass and techno sounds, which makes it stand out from all the songs of the album).
In conclusion, I would say that the album “Dimitrios” manages to stand decently next to music releases by famous artists."

"Prayer for Peace - Epic Version" is a tribute to all life on this planet and a call for all of humanity to turn to love and peace within themselves, thereby emanating these into the world.
Like no other time in history, are we so close to complete destruction of our planet and ourselves. This recording is a call to all people to turn toward the emotions of love and peace by turning our attention to these and coming from them in what we choose to do and how we choose to allow ourselves to feel inside: toward one another, our planet, and life itself.
We each have a choice in what we do, if we help or hurt, do right or wrong, are self centered or take actions within the perspective of the greater good for all.
This is our "Prayer for Peace - Epic Version" and it is a totally reimagined, newly arranged, produced, recorded, and built new from the ground up of one of Sacred Circles' Signature Songs: "Prayer for Peace."
"Sanctuary" is a song of healing, hope and vision inspired by and including words of domestic violence survivors. Sadly, domestic violence does not know bounds of age, race, gender, socioeconomic background and geography. It touches us close to home, if not right at home. After collaborating with Casa Myrna and Respond, Inc, two Boston area domestic violence programs, to create "Sanctuary," Linda decided it was important to get the song out globally, so she invited singers and instrumentalists from not only the USA, but also Germany, Greece, India and Israel to add their voices and parts to the song. "Sanctuary" was released globally on all digital platforms. The Sanctuary Project is an initiative with events and performances to share the song and its message.
